Indian Captain SHUBMAN GILL (AP Photo/Richard Pelham) Although India was fluctuating with the Lord on a tense day, SHUBMAN GILL quietly etched his name into historical books. The Indian captain with only 6 runs in the second inning broke the 23 -year -old Rahula David record for the most Indians in the test series in England. Gill now has 607 runs in the 2025 series, overtaking David’s 602 from the legendary 2002 tour. It is a stunning success for a 24 -year -old man who led from the front both in the temperament and technology in demanding English conditions. The moment came in the middle of high tension when India chased 193 for victory, but to 48 for 4 stumps. Gill walked with the series on the line, but it couldn’t be a storm for a long time. Brydon Carsa imprisoned him LBW at only 6 runs, but even in this short stay he walked past the historical monument.
